Scissors victim forgetful

published Tuesday, February 18, 2014

A 19-year-old Athens man reported Monday he was cut with scissors while wrestling with friends at Bethel Midtown Village on Hickman Drive, according to an Athens-Clarke police report.

The man, who received a large neck wound and small cut to the forehead, told police he couldn’t remember which apartment or building he was in at the time of the incident, nor could he remember which floor they were on when the injury occurred.

When the man complained about the officer’s presence, saying he only wanted an ambulance, the officer explained that police are also dispatched to those types of calls, according to the police report.

The man was searched and a bag of marijuana was found.

Charges are expected to be filed when the man is released from the hospital.
